Overview

Teaching Modules: Engineering Clean Water for Life and Farming (5 days at University) and Mien Tay Fruit Garden experience (1 day trip)

Water is essential for life and agriculture—especially in the face of climate change and increasing droughts and floods. This week-long STEM experience places students in the roles of environmental engineers and scientists as they explore real-world water challenges. Students will investigate water contamination, design and test water filters, and develop sustainable water management systems for daily use and farming. By the end of the week, learners will be able to connect science and engineering principles with practical solutions for clean water access and agricultural resilience. Students will take a field trip to a fruit farm where they will explore the importance of water in agriculture. They’ll learn how farmers manage water sources and use smart techniques to irrigate their crops.

Program schedule

Duration (weeks): 1 week

Schedule (Mon-Fri): 13:30 – 17:00

Schedule (Sat): 08:00 – 17:00

Topics during weekday:

+ The Journey of Water – Water Cycle & Human Impact

+ What’s in Our Water? Exploring Water Quality

+ Build a DIY Water Filter

+ Reuse & Recycle – Sustainable Water Solutions

+ Smart Irrigation for a Greener Future

Experience day:

+ Visit to a Fruit Orchard – Water in Agriculture

A local fruit farm or orchard in Dong Thap Province

+ Activity 1: Which Water Works Best?

Teams will collect and test different local water sources (well water, rainwater, canal water) for pH, turbidity, and smell. Based on their findings, students will decide which source is most suitable for irrigation and justify their choice.

+ Activity 2: Design a Water-Saving Irrigation System

Using basic materials (plastic tubing, syringes, bottles), teams will build a drip irrigation prototype for a model fruit plant. The system that uses the least water while maintaining effective coverage will earn top points.

+ Activity 3: Ask – Record – Reflect

During a guided farm tour or farmer Q&A session, each team will write down at least 5 key things they learn about how farmers use and save water. Teams will later present a short summary of their findings.

Additional info

+ Students must bring their student ID card and study materials appropriate to the course.
